What Owners Say

As an Aria Hot Tub owner I've gone through TWO ACE cells in three years. Two. The first with install cost me 2k. The replacement cell cost me 750. And it just burned out. I was raging. I REFUSE to give Hot Springs another dollar for a faultily engineered part. Especially at that price point. Enter the Scepter. Install was quick. Price was amazing. And it's working beautifully. If you're replacing a faulty ACE cell get one of these IMMEDIATELY. Thanks, HOT TUB WIZARD!!

ACE Questions

Can the Scepter go inside the filter like the original ACE cell?

Why is my Hot Spring ACE® salt system not working?

The number one cause of the ACE® system not working is because of salt levels. The ACE® system is designed to operate in the 1,500-2,000 ppm salt range. If you have an LCD panel you can access the status indicator screen in the water care menu. The YELLOW-GREEN-RED scale will usually tell you what you need to know. Text us with a picture of the status indicator screen along with the salt level determined by a salt test strip with a current date stamp and we can help troubleshoot your system.

Salt levels of 1,500 ppm will usually suffice for a new salt cell and then work your way up over time to 2,000 as the special coating on the plates is depleted. DO NOT go over 2,000 ppm as it is possible for corrosion damage to start.

My salt level is in the correct range but it is not working.

Salt chlorine generators have a salt range they are made to work in. Let's use 1500-2000 ppm of salt. Let's also assume the water is at 2000 but the system is not working. In this example the system is new or a new salt cell was installed. A new salt cell is much more sensitive than an old worn out one and would ideally work at the 1500 ppm level.

I just changed my salt cell, my salt level is in range but my indicator says high salt.

This is a common problem which is easy to fix. The special coating on the chlorine generator cell plates is much more sensitive to salt levels when new. As the cell ages, it is normal for users to add more salt to keep their system working. If the tub hasn't had new water when cell was changed, there are more total dissolved solids which makes the water more conductive. This means the salt level can be within range but still be a little high for the new salt cell. Simply drain some water and top off with fresh water to get salt level to the lower end of the manufacturer's recommended salt range.
